DUKE Rim 28" Baccara RX 42 SLR2 UD-Carbon Gravel asymmetric
With the RX rims, Duke is launching an extremely versatile rim series on the market. The lightweight and robust carbon rims with an inner width of 25 millimeters cut a fine figure on road bikes as well as all-road and gravel bikes. They can best demonstrate their aerodynamic properties with 29 - 30 millimeter wide tires. But they also provide sufficient support for wide gravel tires and up to 2.4" wide tires on beach racers thanks to their large inner width. The hook profile of the rims ensures a secure fit of the tires.The low weight is achieved by optimizing the use of materials, reinforcing particularly stressed areas and saving material in uncritical areas. In addition, the amount of resin used has been further reduced without sacrificing stability.
Thanks to the SLR2 production technology developed by Duke, there is no need to rework or paint the rims during the production process. This alone can save up to 10% in weight and achieve a very high surface quality. The use of highly modular carbon fibers also improves the inherent damping, which is particularly beneficial for riding comfort.
The rims are definitely top of the class in terms of load capacity. With a maximum system weight of 125 kg, you can take a little more luggage with you.
The rims have an asymmetrical rim profile, which enables a more even spoke angle. This optimization of the spoke angle has a number of advantages. The spoke tension on both sides can be better aligned, which is beneficial to the durability of the spokes and the wheel as a whole. The normally direction-dependent lateral stiffness is also adjusted, making the wheel more stable.
3-year warranty and lifetime crash replacement on UD carbon rims
Duke selects the materials used very carefully in order to offer you the best possible product. Therefore, the quality standards for all products, subcontractors and partners are very strict. Duke guarantees for a period of two years that the rims offered have no hidden defects. However, improper installation or use of the products will invalidate the warranty.
In the event of accidents or heavy falls, violent impacts can damage the rim and make it impossible to use. Duke therefore offers a lifetime crash replacement for its UD carbon rims. In exchange, you will receive a 50% discount on the rim you have purchased.
